need to upgrade network card driver
i am trying to install red hat linux 9 on dell poweredge 750 server, but after installation, the network card seems not presented. i guess something is wrong the driver.
did anybody meet same problem? how to upgrade driver for red hat 9? I already downloaded driver for poweredge 750. but doesn't have any instruction for upgrading. thanks for help |
what does lspci tell you - can you determine the chipset of the NIC ?
Cheers, Chris |
re: need to upgrade network card driver
I'm in the same boat.
`lspci` reveals Ethernet controller, Intel, unknown device 1075 (and 1076) Is the e1000 driver appropriate? (I've read this somewhere else today) -chris A. |
Solved.
I downloaded the e1000 driver from Intel, rebuilt from source, installed and I'm off! Got the source for e1000 from: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...ileName=e1000- and built. I added the following to my /etc/modules.conf file: alias eth0 e1000 and I was able to add the interface, `insmod` it, then `service network start`. Ready to rock. -chris A. |
Thank You
I followed the instruction, extremely helpful - it got my RedHat Linux Advanced Server working fine. Thank You
